The Influence of the California Supreme Court

By Greg May

ADVERTISEMENTS

There are apparently a couple articles out there ranking California’s courts, and its Supreme Court, tops in the nation . . . whatever that means. I say “apparently” because I have to take others’ words for it. I’m way too busy to read the articles themselves.

For those of you with time, the more recent of the two is here (hat tip: Civil Procedure Prof Blog). Texas Appellate Law Blog has a PDF download of the earlier article.

One nugget I gleaned in my quick skim of the more recent article: while the first study ranked California’s Supreme Court #1 in influence on other states, a survey by the U. S. Chamber of Commerce (PDF download) rated the California court system as a whole as only 44th best (or 7th worst, depending on how you look at it) in the nation. Go figure.
